Re: [VFB] Bass Froggie
Chuck, Some years ago when I was tying for the shops I had a request from a guy in Italy that was going to the Amazon to fish for some big fish. I don't recall the name of the fish. I don't know where he got my name of knew about my Froggie. He asked me to tie him some big Froggies on hooks that he would send me. I don't remember the size of the hooks but they were big. I made the Froggies using 1/2 foam on top and bottom. I used Green Foam for the top and Yellow foam for the bottom gluing the hook in between them. The Froggies were an inch thick and about 6 long. They were sent to him. I later got an E mail from him that they worked real well but only stood up to about two fish before they got tore up. Somewhere I had photos saved of the Froggies, lost them in that computer glitch I had a few years back along with a lot of other photos I had saved. The first Smallmouth I ever caught was caught on a sz 8 Froggie. Caught three in a row that day on Crooked Creek.

[VFB] Interesting Book?
I received this email the other day from one of the authors. I had been advising him on places to flyfish in Israel a couple years ago. May be of interest to someone: To The Fly Fishing Rabbi Dear Friends, I hope everyone is having a wonderful and restful summer. My friend Reverend Michael Attas and I have written a book on the spiritual side of fly-fishing. In *Fly Fishing-The Sacred Art*, Rev. Mike and I share our experiences on the water and the deeper truths that we find when casting a fly. http://www.amazon.com/Fly-Fishing---Sacred-Art-Spiritual/dp/159473299X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8qid=1329700156sr=8-1 With a forward by Chris Wood, the CEO of Trout Unlimited, and a preface by Lori Simon, the Executive Director of Casting for Recovery, our book can help the angler pursue more than trout when wading into the river. * * ** *Fly-Fishing-The Sacred Art* is available from Amazon.comhttp://www.amazon.com/Fly-Fishing--The-Sacred-Art-Spiritual/dp/159473299X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8qid=1336702574sr=8-1and directly from the publisher SkylightPaths http://www.skylightpaths.com/page/product/978-1-59473-299-7. More information on the book is below. Happy Reading! Rabbi Eric Eisenkramer *Fly-Fishing—The Sacred Art * *Casting a Fly as a Spiritual Practice* *Rabbi Eric Eisenkramer and Rev. Michael Attas, MD Foreword by Chris Wood, CEO, Trout Unlimited Preface by Lori Simon, executive director, Casting for Recovery* *Discover the spiritual potential hidden in every cast of the fly rod.* “For us, fly-fishing is about more than catching fish. We have been skunked on the stream too many times to count, and stood shivering in our waders in 45-degree water long after sundown. Yet, every chance we get, we head back to the river in search of trout and something more.” —from Rabbi Eric’s Introduction “Early in my fly-fishing career I remember telling a friend that there is so much to learn! Some forty years later, that is still true. Every trip I learn something new about rivers, fish and the natural world. Most importantly, I learn something new about myself. Every encounter with the waters of our planet draws me deeper into who I am and who I want to become.” —from Reverend Mike’s Introduction In this unique exploration of fly-fishing as a spiritual practice, an Episcopal priest and a rabbi share what fly-fishing has to teach us about reflection, awe and the wonder of the natural world, the benefits of solitude, the blessing of community and the search for the Divine. Tapping the wisdom in the Christian and Jewish traditions and their own geographically diverse experiences on the water, they show how time spent on the stream can help you navigate the currents and eddies of your own inner journey. *Praise For:* “Offers beautiful and original perspectives on a pastime that for many is a kind of religion. They find common ground in the rivers they fish and the spiritual truths they encounter. Lovely, learned, personal, heart-warming and instructional.” —*James Prosek*, author, *Trout: An Illustrated History* and *Fly-Fishing the 41st: From Connecticut to Mongolia and Home Again—A Fisherman’s Odyssey* “Tastefully integrates valuable fly-fishing principles, accounts of adventures and deep spiritual truths that we can all apply to our lives and reflect on when we are on the water.” —*Italo Labignan*, television host, *Canadian Sportfishing* “Clearly [shows] we are all united in our spirit…. A great read for anyone who cares about people, the conservation of our planet or learning to fly-fish.” —*Sherry Steele*, communications chair, Federation of Fly Fishers National Board of Directors “Wonderfully written, inspirational … thoughtful and articulate, a careful read of this exceptional book will make you a better fly-angler, but more importantly, it will make you a better person.” —*Todd Larson, PhD*, history professor, Xavier University; publisher, Whitefish Press; creator, the *Fishing for History* blog “Help[s] explain why so many people have ascribed spiritual meaning to this sport, and it does so in a way that will help others find such meaning in this pastime as well.” —*Kenneth H. Lokensgard, PhD*, creator, the *Literary Fly Fisher* blog “I loved this book. Both men write beautifully, lyrically, poetically about … the connection, the preparation for and act of fly-fishing. You will enjoy it. The words will ‘take’ you there.” —*John Lionberger*, author, *Renewal in the Wilderness: A Spiritual Guide to Connecting with God in the Natural World* *About the Authors:* *Rabbi Eric Eisenkramer* is creator of The Fly Fishing Rabbi: A Blog about Trout, God and Religion, and a contributor to Trout magazine. He is the spiritual leader of Temple Shearith Israel in Ridgefield, Connecticut, and he fishes the cold-water streams of New York, Connecticut and the Northeast. *Rev.

But I had always tied them in bluegill size, on about size 8 hooks. Till now. I JUST finished this Bass Froggie. It's tied on a 2/0 or 3/0 wide gape bass hook (I think) and measures just over 4 long. Ain't the prettiest froggie ever tied, but I think late in the evening, just before dark, when the bass start feeding on top. I think they'll KILL this thing. Chuck Now that you know what I do in the middle of the night, How bout you LOL.. 'Ol Mr. Insomnia is visiting this weekend I guess..

Re: [VFB] Aug. 2012 Roll Call- Who's still here and tuning in?
I'm still here, and still tune in! Haven't done much fishing this year, but there is still the fall! Tight lines, Salty Dan If at first you don't succeed, maybe you shouldn't try sky diving! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.
